Selena was standing in the sailing lodge not far from Gotham Beach, Maggie was looking down and counting the day's harvest, all the small accessories they had made the day before were sold out, and they had netted more than twenty dollars after removing the cost.

Just as Selena poured ice soda into her mouth, Maggie stuffed a roll of dollars into Selena's hand, and just as Selena was about to say something, Maggie said, "Don't say those words that make me jealous and want to push you into the sea, I know it's nothing, but if you want to rightly refuse Bruce to hang a lot of stuff on you, you have to have some confidence." ”

Selena immediately approached Maggie's side, kissed Maggie hard, and said to her with a grin: "Okay, I know you don't like me to be a thief, and I haven't done that for a long time, and I earn money by labor, right?" ”

Maggie pushes her away with some disgust, and says, "This is to prevent one day when you are arguing, he says to you, 'Without me, you will only be a thief.'" ”

"Don't worry, if he dares to say that to me, I'll scratch his face." Selena sighed as she said this.

After separating from Maggie, Selena hitched a ride with the owner of the Sailing Cabin, but Selena was going to Wayne Manor, and she was not exactly on the way with the boss, so Selena asked the boss to stop at an intersection at the junction of the South and East Sides, and she walked to Wayne Manor.

On the way to Wayne Manor, Selena suddenly noticed a large retail supermarket next to the middle-class community on the edge of the South End, which looked like a chain brand, with a huge floor-to-ceiling window with all kinds of goods displayed behind it.

Selena had little interest in visiting the supermarket, so she planted two very large trees in front of the mall, and the shade of the trees there was a good way to help Selena avoid the sun when she walked this part of the road, and she walked towards it without thinking about it.

Next to the shade of the tree was the floor-to-ceiling window, and Selena looked inside when she had nothing to do, when she suddenly stopped in her footsteps, because she saw a familiar item on the retail shelves closest to the window of this supermarket.

"God, is that a poor cookie?" Selena covered her forehead with her hand, leaned on the window and looked inside, and said in amazement, "This thing is still selling?" It's already up to 39 cents?! I remember when I was a kid it was only 5 cents a packet. ”

Selena licked her lips, as if remembering the taste of her memory, she hesitated for a moment, glanced at the reward given to her by Magiss, which happened to have a few coins in it, and finally walked into the door of the supermarket.

Two minutes later, Selena walked out with two packets of cookies, walked to the flower bed in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, sat down, put one packet on the side of her lap, and picked up the other to look at it.

"It used to be five packs in one, but that's a lot more expensive, my old man, I'm afraid no one would dare to call you a poor ghost cookie now, after all, Wayne's chocolate chip cookies are only a dollar a pack."

Selena muttered as she tore the bag with her hands, but after tinkering for a long time, she found that this kind of home packaging had no convenient opening at all, and it was difficult to open without scissors.

Selena fumbled around and found that she didn't have a weapon on her, not even a slightly sharp key, she sighed, picked up another pack of cookies and stood up, thinking that she had to go back to Wayne Manor and find a way.

Soon Alfred pushed open the door of the manor, smiled and said to Selena who walked in: "Miss Aisha has gone to Rodriguez Manor for class, and it will take about half an hour to come back, you can have afternoon tea first, and I will go and prepare it now." ”

"No, no, Ah Fu." Selena stopped Alfred, shook the biscuit in her hand and said, "I have this, can you give me scissors?" ”

Selena quickly pulled out a small packet of cookies from the sturdy family package, which contained two not-so-thick pieces of cookie flour candy and chocolate chips, brushed with a layer of butter and dried to an earthy brown color.

Selena just put a cookie in her mouth and said as if she had thought of something, "By the way, Alfred, I'd like to go to Bruce's study, there shouldn't be anything important there right now, right?" ”

"No, you can use it, do you need me to help you bring the tea tray over?"

"Thanks, but no, I'm not thirsty right now."

With that, Selena walked towards the second floor with the cookie in her mouth, then opened the study door and walked in, Alfred stood next to the coffee table, scanning the paper-like ingredient list on the cookie package that Selena had left on the table with a hawkish eye.

At dinner, Selena and Bruce were told that Aisha had spent the night at Rodriguez Manor, so instead of going to the big dining room, they sat down on the kitchen island and ate Alfred's light meal.

The staple was a sandwich sandwich with slices of cold black pork ham and pea puree, Belgian cream mussels and tuna tartar in oil, Selena took a big bite of the sandwich, and when she chewed, she found that in the dim light, Bruce looked at her with an inexplicable hesitation.

Selena gave Bruce a puzzled look, but Bruce hesitated to finish a tartar before he spoke, "Did you go to the study today?" ”

"Yes, Alfred said there wasn't anything important, so I went to look for a book, and of course I didn't look closely, I just flipped through it."

"Did you eat in there?"

Selena immediately froze, she tried to swallow her mouthful full of food, rolled her eyes to the other side and said, "Probably...... No, or ...... A little bit? ”

"Is there or isn't?" Bruce asked helplessly.

"Well, I ate a cookie, it's not a flavorful food, and I'm careful to wrap it in a paper towel, and it definitely doesn't contaminate your book."

Bruce pulled out a clear pouch from his pocket, like the rectangular pouch used in chemistry labs for a small piece of solid raw material, with a cookie the size of half a fingernail in it.

"Oh my God, when did it fall?!" Selena said incredulously: "I have to look down at the ground twenty times after almost one bite, how can I still drop the slag?" ”

"What I found in the gap on the sofa next to the bed, it may have been that you fell on your clothes while reading a book, and slipped into the gap when you stood up."

"Please, Bruce, you must have had afternoon tea in your study, haven't you? This kind of food just drops slag, and I'm not a cookie detective. ”

Selena looked at Bruce with wide eyes, trying to fool around, but finding that Bruce's expression had not changed, she had to moan in frustration and then said.

"Okay, I thought I could eat there, so I brought the unfinished cookies in, I promise not next time, I'm not saying that cookies won't fall off the slag, but they won't fall on the couch in your study again, I promise!"

Looking at Selena who swore with a cross on her chest, Bruce put the small bag flat on the table, then he put his hands on the table, looked at Selena and said, "You can eat in the study, I used to have afternoon tea there, and the reason for the dross of cookies is complicated, but I don't care." ”

"But, Selena, I analyzed the porosity structure in the cookie flour and the source of the cocoa powder in this half of the chocolate bean, and found that it was a product from a cheap food company in Metropolis that sold for 39 cents in a family size of GNE chocolate butter cookies......"

Selena's eyes widened in shock, she heard the dissatisfaction in Bruce's words, so she put down the food in her hand, jumped off the bar chair, spread her hands and looked at Bruce and said, "Oh God! Listen to what you say, cheap food production companies, food is just food, you don't want to stop me from eating cheap food in your mouth, right?! ”

"Please, Bruce, I'm not a rich lady who was born to eat organic food like you, you can't ask me to stop eating food from industrial assembly lines at all, just because you see it as cheap, it's so much more outrageous than you insist on putting those horrible dresses on me!"

"Listen, Selena, it's not about the price, I'm definitely not ......"

"You're definitely not discriminating against my origin." Selena stood across the island, looked at Bruce with her hands on her hips and said, "And then you have to say, I have a better choice now, I don't need to eat these cheap foods anymore, you provide me with these because you love me, so I don't need to mind at all, and don't be ashamed to live a better life, you completely forgive me for these little habits......"

"Well, you listen to me too, Bruce, I'm so sorry for getting cookie scraps on your couch, next time I'll try not to eat outside the table, but I'll eat what I want, whether it's cheap or not, there's no way you're going to manipulate me about it."

Bruce's expression looked a little helpless, and Selena looked into his eyes and took two steps back, shook her head, and turned to walk out the door.

Selena left Wayne Manor all the way, and with her skills, she didn't need to worry about the security situation in Gotham at night, so she climbed to the top of a building very simply, intending to vent her frustration in Gotham as before.

But just as she was climbing to the top of the building, a dark shadow appeared behind her, and a slightly hoarse female voice came from the wind: "Look, an angry little kitten, has you quarreled with your owner?" ”

Selena jerked her head back and saw a dark-haired woman in a dark trench coat standing behind her, and Selena instantly recalled that she seemed to have seen this face in the newspaper.

"Tagliaogu?"

"It's me." Talia smiled, stood behind Selena at some point, and said, "Are you angry that I accused your richest boyfriend?" ”

Selena took a deep breath, and in an instant she moved, flashing sideways like a cat, and the pitch-black whip curled towards Talia like a nimble snake tail.

"Are you angry at me about the matter?" Talia quickly dodged, swishing three rounds of hidden weapons thrown, without forcing Selena back at all, she observed the trajectory of the whip, and said: "It seems that you are going to be on the side of Bruce, but also, how many women can refuse the title of the richest lady in the world?" ”

With a "snap", the force of the whip became heavier, and Talia saw the anger and murderous intent on Selena's face, but did not notice that her hand was curled like an eagle's claw behind her back.

"Woola!"

Late at night, Bruce, who was still standing in front of the kitchen island, looked at Selena as she pushed the door in, his eyes falling on her fingers, which were still stained with blood.

Selena's eyes shimmered in the darkness as she stared straight at Bruce and said, "I apologize for what I said, cheap food is not the most excessive adjective, we used to call that kind of cookie 'poor devil cookie'." ”

"I don't mean ......"

"Shut up and listen to me, do you know why I'm buying it?"

Bruce looked at Selena in silence, he knew that Selena didn't need him to answer, Selena threw the whip in her hand on the couch beside her, and said, "When I was stealing things for Lucky Mom, she would go to places we didn't know every week to buy a big bag of five-cent and one-dollar loose poor ghost cookies, and put them on the top of the closet. ”

"Only the best performing kids get a small packet, and I get an extra pack every week because I have the best relationship with her and she loves me."

"Unlike you guys who have been eating afternoon tea in the manor since birth, it was the only sweet I could eat when I was a child, so I bought it."

Bruce's expression softened, but before a second had passed, he heard Selena growl, "That's the story you want to hear, right?" Poor people either have to have a miserable past, or they have no choice, or they are short-sighted to choose something! You damn bitch! ”

"I'm telling you, Bruce Wayne, I'd rather fucking eat a 39-cent pack of Ghetti Devil Cookies than the $39 organic cake you offered me, just because cheap cookies are sweet enough! I just love to eat junk food that is high in sugar and calories!! ”

"And I don't want to wear like a Christmas tree at the wedding, not because of how expensive and interesting the dress is, and I don't think I can afford it, but because it's fucking uncomfortable!!"
